NAME

RADIUS::Dictionary - RADIUS dictionary parser

SYNOPSIS

  use RADIUS::Dictionary;

  my $dict = new RADIUS::Dictionary "/etc/radius/dictionary";

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple module that reads a RADIUS dictionary file and parses it, allowing conversion between dictionary names and numbers.

Returns the number of the named attribute.

->attr_type($attrname)

Returns the type (string, integer, ipaddr, or time) of the named attribute.

->attr_name($attrnum)

Returns the name of the attribute with the given number.

->attr_numtype($attrnum)

Returns the type of the attribute with the given number.

->attr_has_val($attrnum)

Returns a true or false value, depending on whether or not the numbered attribute has any known value constants.

->val_has_name($attrnum)

Alternate (bad) name for attr_has_val.

->val_num($attrnum, $valname)

Returns the number of the named value for the attribute number supplied.
